How can I view a Unique Entity ID or Registration Record in SAM.gov?


The Unique Entity ID (UEI) is public as part of every entity record for entities that have opted into public search. Entities that have opted out of public search are viewable only by federal users and users with a role to the entity. If you have a role with your entity, you can also view entity details within your Workspace (KB0041254). If you need to obtain a role from an existing administrator, you can request it (KB0016602). If there is no administrator on file for the entity, you can submit an Entity Administrator Appointment Letter (KB0016652).

 

You must sign in to your SAM.gov account to search entities.
